As the number of veterinarians grows to meet the demand for veterinary care, so will the number of veterinary technicians needed to assist them. In fact, the opportunities for employment as a veterinary technician are projected to grow faster than average through 2018.

Veterinary assistants perform a wide variety of clinical and technical tasks. New technologies are revolutionizing the field of veterinary medicine and veterinary assistants will play vital roles in the continued care and medical treatment of animals.
